Wesley Corpus

Conference is out of the question. You have used me basely and ungratefully, after I have served you between forty and fifty years; and if I had not two strings to my bow I should have been in a fine condition. Your letters are a proof of all I say concerning you. If you and the six other persons who sign your letter of the 26th instant issued out all the money whereby the house at Millbourn Place was built, you are honest men; if not, I will not call you so. One of the twelve original rules of Methodism is, 'You are to do that part of the work which I appoint'; but this cannot be unless I have a right of appointing the preachers in all the Methodist preaching-houses. [See letter of April 11 to Peter Mill.] I am old, and you apparently young; yet you know not which of us will first be called hence. I wish you all well, and am Your affectionate brother. To Rebecca Ingram [22] WATERFORD, April 29, 1789. To receive a line from you was an unexpected pleasure. You will please to inform Mr. Brown that, as I purpose setting out from Kilfinane pretty early on Tuesday morning, May 12 shall probably be at Limerick between twelve and one. I am glad to find your love does not grow cold, nor your desires after all the mind that was in Christ. Now is the time to regain the whole image of God, wherein you was created. O be satisfied with nothing less, and you will surely receive it by simple faith! The Lord increase your faith! So prays Yours affectionately. To Walter Churchey CORK, May 4. 1789.
